Over the past few years, numerous studies and research articles have been published in the medical literature review domain. The topics covered by these researches included medical information retrieval, disease statistics, drug analysis, and many other fields and application domains. In this paper, we employ various text mining and data analysis techniques in an attempt to discover trending topics and topic concordance in the healthcare literature and data mining field. This analysis focuses on healthcare literature and bibliometric data and word association rules applied to 1945 research articles that had been published between the years 2006 and 2019. Our aim in this context is to assist saving time and effort required for manually summarizing large-scale amounts of information in such a broad and multi-disciplinary domain. To carry out this task, we employ topic modeling techniques through the utilization of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), in addition to various document and word embedding and clustering approaches. Findings reveal that since 2010 the interest in the healthcare big data analysis has increased significantly, as demonstrated by the five most commonly used topics in this domain.

Topic models are very popular methods of text analysis. The most popular algorithm for topic modelling is LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation). Recently, many new methods were proposed, that enable the usage of this model in large scale processing. One of the problem is, that a data scientist has to choose the number of topics manually. This step, requires some previous analysis. A few methods were proposed to automatize this step, but none of them works very well if LDA is used as a preprocessing for further classification. In this paper, we propose an ensemble approach which allows us to use more than one model at prediction phase, at the same time, reducing the need of finding a single best number of topics. We have also analyzed a few methods of estimating topic number.

Facing the big data wave, this study applied artificial intelligence to cite knowledge and find a feasible process to play a crucial role in supplying innovative value in environmental education. Intelligence agents of artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP) are two key areas leading the trend in artificial intelligence; this research adopted NLP to analyze the research topics of environmental education research journals in the Web of Science (WoS) database during 2011–2020 and interpret the categories and characteristics of abstracts for environmental education papers. The corpus data were selected from abstracts and keywords of research journal papers, which were analyzed with text mining, cluster analysis, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), and co-word analysis methods. The decisions regarding the classification of feature words were determined and reviewed by domain experts, and the associated TF-IDF weights were calculated for the following cluster analysis, which involved a combination of hierarchical clustering and K-means analysis. The hierarchical clustering and LDA decided the number of required categories as seven, and the K-means cluster analysis classified the overall documents into seven categories. This study utilized co-word analysis to check the suitability of the K-means classification, analyzed the terms with high TF-IDF wights for distinct K-means groups, and examined the terms for different topics with the LDA technique. A comparison of the results demonstrated that most categories that were recognized with K-means and LDA methods were the same and shared similar words; however, two categories had slight differences. The involvement of field experts assisted with the consistency and correctness of the classified topics and documents.

The development of digital technology has brought new media, one of which is Youtube, which is now one of the most widely used applications for internet users in the world. The growth of the audience which is known as viewers, is also suported by the contribution from the content creators or also known as YouTubers from Indonesian. The more the viewers grow, the more their demand for trend content are also grwoing at surprisingly speed in one of the topics which is H-pop. In this study, the author wanted to see the dominant topics that K-pop YouTubers often upload to support content creator. This research was conducted using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation method. The analysis was carried out on after using text mining on 2563 videos from 10 K-pop YouTuber accounts with more than 100,000 subscribers. To determine the optimal number of topics by looking at the value of perplexity and topic conherence. The results obtained are the top 5 topics that are the content material in the uploaded video. These topics include reactions to dance covers, unboxing on albums and conducting reviews, riddles from K-pop dances and vlogs together to discuss about covers and reactions to sounds on K-pop songs.

The unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 is one of the most serious global threats to public health in this century. During this crisis, specialists in information science could play key roles to support the efforts of scientists in the health and medical community for combatting COVID-19. In this article, we demonstrate that information specialists can support health and medical community by applying text mining technique with latent Dirichlet allocation procedure to perform an overview of a mass of coronavirus literature. This overview presents the generic research themes of the coronavirus diseases: COVID-19, MERS and SARS, reveals the representative literature per main research theme and displays a network visualisation to explore the overlapping, similarity and difference among these themes. The overview can help the health and medical communities to extract useful information and interrelationships from coronavirus-related studies.

Twitter merupakan media sosial yang sedang mengalami perkembangan yang pesat, karena pengguna dapat berinteraksi satu sama lain menggunakan media komputer atau perangkat mobile. Perubahan tagar trending  yang berubah dengan cepat sesuai sesuai dengan intensitas pengguna membicarakan hal tertentu. Sehingga media social twitter ini cocok untuk merumpi membicarakan hal-hal terkini, salah satunya masalah COVID-19. Hal ini tidak menutup kemungkinan ada oknum yang menggunakan predikat ini untuk membuat berita untuk menggiring opini public mengenai COVID-19 mengenai berita baik maupun berita yang tak bersumber yang dapat menyebar dengan cepat. Pada penelitian ini penulis ingin mengetahui macam-macam topik yang dibahas oleh  akun bot terhadap penyebaran informasi menggunakan tagar #covid19. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode Latent  Dirichlet  Allocation  (LDA ). Analisis dilakukan setelah melakukan text mining pada 162 Tweet dari 62 akun bot Twitter. Untuk menentukan jumlah topik yang optimal, yakni dengan melihat nilai perplexity dan topik coherence. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah  5 topik teratas antara lain tentang kondisi dan dampak pandemi saat ini, himbauan untuk menjaga jarak agar Kesehatan tetap terjaga, perkembangan penyebaran COVID 19 yang ada di Indonesia, vaksinasi yang terjadi di beberapa wilayah di Indonesia, dan cara menghadapi COVID-19.Kata kunci—Covid-19, Twitter, Akun Bot, LDA

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to discover the factors affecting customer delight, satisfaction and dissatisfaction in fine dining experiences (FDEs).Design/methodology/approachOnline user generated 2,585 reviews on TripAdvisor for 46 five-star hotel restaurants operating in Istanbul were analyzed with the latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) algorithm.FindingsLDA created nine, eight and seven topics for delight, satisfaction and dissatisfaction, respectively. The most salient topics for customer delight, satisfaction and dissatisfaction in FDEs are staff (17.3%), view (19%), and food quality (23%), respectively.Originality/valueThis study is one of the few studies investigating customer delight and satisfaction together. The study shows that FDEs can be analyzed with text mining techniques. Moreover, the study contributes to the literature on customer delight by adding staff topic as an antecedent.
